I have question is anyone using the green hornet theme for the theme changer I'v been using it for a while but on cm7 6 it isn't changing my notification bar any more.

Has this happened to any one else?

Thank you kindly! I was going crazy lol

yeah, im back to sense again because of that and 4g not staying connected in a known coverage area. :(
[EVO 4G General] p-slim:
My 4g disconnects randomly and will not transfer data till a soft reset is done also
[EVO 4G General] Bizdady:
YOu can always flash a new clock font to get the clock to change. I used a Honeycomb style font for my clock. Or alternatively widgetlocker but I dont like using widgetlocker.
[EVO 4G General] ctmay4:
Thanks!

Thanks to all the hard work. I am pulling over 3Mbps at my office which is not even in a great 4G area. Way faster than any Sense rom I found. The accomplishment of the devs in getting 4G is nothing short of amazing. Nice work!

Unfortunately, my GPS stopped working again. I had previously done the ##gpsclrx# fix in Sense and used it extensively in previously nightlies. Do I need to do the trick again? I thought it was a one-time fix. Any else with the same issue?
[EVO 4G General] jyan_osu:
Did a clean install of #6 using Calk's Format all and clearing all caches.... I got 4G to connect but the speeds are SLOOOOOW it's slower than my3G speeds.. Go to gginggerbread from the other thread or a Sense rom and my 4G speeds are in the 6-8mbps range.. with #6 it's barely hitting 1mbps... other than that, everything else is working great...
[EVO 4G General] Jon:
Wimax is working great outside my office. I've only tried it a few times here but these are the best speeds [maybe new, closer tower] but this is great ;)

Test on the bottom is the 4G, test on the top is 3G immediately after. - Mbps

Still no GPS. About to try the GPSCLRX again, hopefully it will work and I'll be the happiest guy here.

The dialer battery drain issue is killing me. I look forward to a more stable release.
[EVO 4G General] 94tbird:
enable the SMS split so your txt messages dont cause the dialer to stay awake trying to send over and over again
[EVO 4G General] mdubs:
^^^ This, force close your dialer and turn off the "Flip to silence" setting in phone settings (Thanks goes to the one that posted this earlier).

Do these and then charge your phone for a bit. Dialer wakelock issue has disappeared for me :D

Battery issues

flashed cm7 nightly 6...charged all night....had dialer wake lock issues this morning...had it off of the charger for 38 min and was down to 81% battery.....stuck it on the charger again, rebooted the phone, and when it came back on, suddenly battery was at 100%???

wtf? should i recalibrate battery or anybody else get this??

rebooted again...now it says battery is at 92% and charging.....

My Moar Geez is Slow/Fast

Thought this was pretty common knowledge:

http://voip.about.com/od/voipbandwidth/f/factoraffspdtst.htm

Speed tests are unreliable. Especially when you run one and done. You'd have to run 10's or 100's, throw out the outliers, then average the rest to get anything close to 'real' results.

It's like showing up at a polling venue, asking one person who he voted for, then declaring the winner.

SDCard Speed Bug

If you need to move a bunch of files to/from the SDCard and you don't have an adapter, I'd suggest booting into recovery and mounting the card from there.

I wanted to remove the ext partition I made for a kernel hack. I tarred up the contents of my card to my computer, this seemed to work fine booted into CM7, but when I repartitioned my card and tried to restore the tar, it kept erroring out. The untar took too long, then the card would unmount, WTF??, and the untar would fail. I booted into recovery and tried the untar and it worked fine and much much faster.

Of course, as always, YMMV.
[EVO 4G General] :
im aware of this, and cm sucks on 3g in my area. i want to use cm, but its just terrible for data. i keep going back every nightly because i dont like sense, but when everything about your data transfer is poor you cant stay long.

speed tests might not be conclusive evidence of this problem, but when your market and web downloads mirror these test results, there is a problem.
[EVO 4G General] clamknuckle:
I'm going to use this. This is such a great analogy.
[EVO 4G General] halorin:
Thanks guys. I'll give this a try!
[EVO 4G General] jblazea50:
My Wifi and 4G speeds are very good. I'm actually tethering on 4G via usb and pulling in about 4-6mbps in a weak area. However, 3G is another story completely. Less than 100kbps at home, but normal to great speed just outside.
[EVO 4G General] halorin:
There's an app in the market called multi mount or something like that's supposed to help with the speed also.
[EVO 4G General] sultan.of.swing:
My 3g speeds are averaging 1.0-1.2 mbps. No 4g to test which sucks donkey balls

Is the latest nightly preventing anyone else's Titanium backup from restoring apps? Uninstalls fine. Updated superuser and busy box

I wasn't able to update mine. Tried three times to no avail.
[EVO 4G General] kpoz:
Apparently, people run into battery problems with 4G when they are in a fringe area and signal fades in and out.

I live in Chicago where 4G signal is strong. My battery life on 4G is stellar and check out my data speeds.
[EVO 4G General] kpoz:
I flashed the WiMAX radio update. I went from averaging just under 6 mbps to over 9 mbps.
[EVO 4G General] spiicytuna:
I was on the phone moving around and am now home all with cdma only and so far it seems exactly the same. I am gonna leave it as is for right now and see if I have a seat-of-the-pants difference. *shrug* it's easy enough to switch back if a problem comes up.

Lay off the math it makes my head hurt on a Friday afternoon ;)

Theorem: All numbers 3G/4G speeds are equal.
a + b = t
(a + b)(a - b) = t(a - b)
a^2 - b^2 = ta - tb
a^2 - ta = b^2 - tb
a^2 - ta + (t^2)/4 = b^2 - tb + (t^2)/4
(a - t/2)^2 = (b - t/2)^2
a - t/2 = b - t/2
a = b
So all speeds are the same, and math is pointless.

but "working in a basement" implies that you're stationary, meaning you could plug your phone in at work.

I noticed NO difference with the 1.40 PRI. As for the commits, keep in mind that commits made to main froyo tree will still have affect on the evo (and all the other platforms).
[EVO 4G General] kpoz:
Pre-WiMAX radio update i was getting 6 down and 1 up. Now, I am getting 9 down, yet only 1 up.

My 1 mbps upload speed is so consistent, in fact, that I was beginning to think Sprint/Clear capped the upload speed.

Has anyone else seen over 1 mbps of upload speed?
[EVO 4G General] spiicytuna:
Ya I think that is true; that they cap upload bandwidth: http://androidandme.com/2010/05/news/sprint-evo-4g-uploads-capped-at-1-mbps/

and from the horses mouth "How much faster is 4G? The average speeds in launched markets showed download speeds of 3-6 Mbps and upload speeds of 1 Mbps (capped)."

^^taken from here: http://developer.sprint.com/site/global/home/4g/wimax_experience/wimax_experience.jsp
[EVO 4G General] kpoz:
According to that article, 4G upload speed is capped at 1 mbps, yet 3G upload speed can reach 1.8 mbps. Interesting.

Just something Ive noticed for any devlopers in this build- When holding your finger down on the screen, the screen jitters up and down and sometimes glitches upwards or downwards.

Also, has facebook contacts been able to be synced?

So far I like this ROM :) running nice

Can anyone confirm that wiimote still works with the latest nightly with the new kernel? My wiimote connects but loses connection right after. It was working fine before the kernel update.
[EVO 4G General] plmiller0905:
Do anyone know how to change the color of the gmail icon in the notification bar?

As it is now, its white and it blends in with the stock notification bar which is also white.
[EVO 4G General] kpoz:
Facebook contacts can be synced. You need to delete the Facebook.apk using Root Explorer or adb, restart your phone, then go into the Android Market and download Facebook. You will then be able to sync contacts.

The screen does not glitch. If you are using ADW Launcher, the ability to remove the status bar on the top of your screen is enabled by default. Therefore, because the screen does not glitch, I am guessing that you may be dragging a big when long-pressing.

A second option is that you did not wipe completely before flashing CM6, and that is why your screen glitches.
[EVO 4G General] -shift-:
yea, that makes sense. i'm in the fringe area at the moment, so my battery was crappy at best. but, damn, that signal is topnotch. what app is that?

i'm yoinking that phrase: "seat-of-the-pants difference" ...thank you.

also, yea, i had tested cdma vs cdma (auto prl). i didn't notice much of a difference either. i just left it at auto prl since, at the time, i was reading an informative how-to-improve-battery-life post and that's what it suggested.
[EVO 4G General] tlxxxsracer:
Okay, thank you! :)

My mistake, it was just the app then :P

Andy suggestions to make it run faster or conserve mor battery? :D
[EVO 4G General] kpoz:
One of the speed test apps. I have them installed on the stock Sense ROM I use, but not on CM6 so I couldn't tell you. I find it to be more consistent than the Speedtest.net app.
[EVO 4G General] spiicytuna:
I can vouch for this. When I have full 3G strength I get about 1.75mbps up.
[EVO 4G General] kpoz:
I believe it - I see about 1.5 upload in Chicago with full signal on 3G. I just find it interesting.

Quick question, the samsung vibrant is getting a score of 2224 on quadrant, while I and some others get 1700's, why its that? Is the phone better than ours?

Question, how can I get voicemail on my phone? I had never set up my voicemail since I got the phone and would like it on there- not even sure what number to dial to be directed :P
[EVO 4G General] aim1126:
The powervr gpu on the galaxy s phones is miles ahead than the adreno gpu in the snapdragon devices. Plus the hummingbird processor is also faster than the snapdragon processor

Also that 2224 is while running 2.1 imagine what that hummingbird processor is gonna be when the phone get upgraded to 2.2

I'm pretty sure it'll break 3000
[EVO 4G General] Ninjack:
Still having major Exchange issues now. The mail app will say its connected to Exchange, but it never seems to pull the inbox now. Also its pulling a ton of junk mail, and my contacts will not sync up.

Did a nandroid back to my 8/10 build, and Had email @ first..then BAM! Same issue happened again. I have wiped, cleared delv and cache and done just about everything. Funny thing is it seems that the app is creating tons of conflic and server error folders.......not sure what's going on, but its in this build. As far Exchange as goes, its working fine, no issues on Owa or anything else, nor on other phones.

Heck I should know, I am the one who gen it ! Also working fine on the stock 2.2..so something is truly up with this latest build.

EDIT:

Went out and grabbed another Email.apk. Used root explorer to remove the current one, installed new one.

Overwritten anything else that was still hanging around.

Setup email again and did a push. Everything coming in fine now, Contacts also all synced up. Happy camper now.

Interesting that the Email.apk seemed to get corrupted. I would suggest anyone else having similar issues with Exchange do this.

Help to Fix GPS CM7

Thank you Snake-Driver i know that this worked for almost all the guys, but not for me...yet!, i will do not give up with this maybe i am missing something,i would like to know a little more(I know even more :S)

1 - Backed up CM7 - ok

2 - Restored Fresh EVO 3.5.0.1 Backup - ok

3 - Launch phone dialer and dial ##GPSCLRX# - To dial that do i need to have the GPS ON or OFF?

4 - Entered MSL Number - ok

5 - Rebooted - After rebooted it should be ON or OFF? Do i have to turn it ON and after that Restore?

6 - Restored CM7 - ok

Hope someone can help me!
[EVO 4G General] mdubs:
It will reboot on its own. From my understanding, you need to open maps after the reboot and get a lock. Then you boot into recovery and restore your nandroid.
[EVO 4G General] 94tbird:
Ill say. These were on ggingerbread6 but its the same deal lol
[EVO 4G General] TheDave1022:
I did have the Turn over silence set. I unchecked it. I had a wake lock on dialer for about 30 minutes. That was the main reason I rebooted. Still think charging was very slow while 4G enabled. Thanks

No luck for me today. Anybody else having trouble with tethering? Everything shows to be connected but no internets on my laptop.

Did a clean install for the latest cm7 nightly ok boom. Everything is money except for TB thing. Finally got the apps to install but now I can't move any apps to the SD card. Is anyone else having this issue as well. I would only expect people who did a fresh install to respond.

WOW now my 4g is grayed out and 3g is up right next to it in the notification bar. WTF!
[EVO 4G General] :
what is a circumstance when you would rather flip the phone over and have it face down to silence ringing? why wouldn't you just press volume down and still be able to see the screen in case you get another call or notification? seems like a pointless feature developed by someone who wanted to try coding with the motion sensing aspect of the api.
[EVO 4G General] :
haha... okay, again the volume down button? its quieter than flipping a phone upside down so your mistress wont hear either.

See above, I was having issues, I tried that and it worked. Now my Evo is a 4GPS machine.
[EVO 4G General] :
you really think you can grab a phone and flip it upside down faster than you can press a button? aim your grab with either an index finger or thumb right on the volume button and you save yourself the trouble of flipping the phone over. you could even be more skilled and grab the phone while pressing the volume key and power, quieting the phone and making the screen turn off and you would not have to flip it over onto its screen and risk scratching the screen.
[EVO 4G General] Domingo7:

[EVO 4G General] NewZJ:

A (good) work around: use Titanium Backup to freeze "Messages". Not only will this stop the double notifications but you'll free up some ram.

[EVO 4G General] ageesm:
Why is this even a big deal? Some people do things differently. I first had this 'feature' on my TouchPro2 it was a setting added by HTC. Obviously someone liked it and it found its way to Android, so CM also included it. It is far from mandatory for you to use? Just curious here. :confused:

##GPRCLR# or whatever sounds dangerous. What settings is this 'clearing'? How do I back them up?

The change you make in ##GPRCLR# note it down. Just re-enter in ##GPRCLR# mode and switch back whatever you (un)checked and save again. I used this fix back around nightly #20ish and have had great GPS since :) No need to revert the change at all.

Never messed with kernels, can you please explain how did you install that kernel? How can I backup current kernel?

I also heard some people reported better battery life with savagedzen.
[EVO 4G General] thedarksavant:
Just flash kernels like you flash ROMs. No need to backup the existing kernel, not even sure you can, but if you want to go back to the stock ROM kernel, you'll need to reflash the ROM.
[EVO 4G General] dtruong23:
I used handcent and also disabled notification s for stock messaging. I didn't have this problem on ggingerbread6 but after a fresh install of the latest cm7 I'm having this problem of duplicate notifications. Maybe a fresh install will cure the problem as it usually does most problems.

[EVO 4G General] thedarksavant:
I don't know about every ROM, but CM ROMs do have a kernel. Phone won't boot without one ;)
[EVO 4G General] JohnnyBeGood113:
Cool. Thanks!
[EVO 4G General] thedarksavant:
CFS and BFS are 'schedulers'. By that I mean they determine when processes get CPU time. Usual wisdom is to start with BFS and if you have issues or it feels sluggish go to CFS. Usual exception is if you are a benchmark junky, then use CFS as it tends to produce higher scores.
[EVO 4G General] FusionX:
yes, every rom comes with a kernel. think of a kernel as a bridge between software and hardware, it allows/dictates how things are communicated and function between sw and hw. w/o a kernel, there would be nothing.
